The Delivery System For Sport In England

The new delivery system for sport in England is also known as the 'single system'. This has been devised from extensive cross sector consultation over the last six years to simplify and reform the current complex delivery structures in sport.

 

This page will provide a brief overview of this delivery system.

The Delivery System For Sport In England  

 

The two main aims of the delivery system are: -

1. To increase the number of people taking part in sport and active recreation especially from hard to reach groups: -
   • Women and girls
   • the over 45s
   • Black and ethnic minority communities
   • Disabled people
   • Those on lower incomes
     
2. To build talent pathways to support young people to achieve their full potential and sustain a higher level of participation.

This delivery system will also support the achievement of the outcomes set within The National Framework For Sport (2004) and the governments public service agreement targets (PSA).

This delivery system has been designed to be a 'demand led' supply chain. The above diagram depicts how the people taking part and the people delivering sport and active recreation can communicate their needs to the policy makes and investors.

 

For the first time in sport the delivery system clarifies the position and roles that different organisations and agencies play in delivering opportunities in sport and active recreation.
